Fasting

A person starts his fast in Pakistan on the 19th of June 2015 and then after couple of days arrives in Dubai where the first day of Ramadan was the 18th of June 2015, and he intends to stay in Dubai for more than 2 months. Question is , will he need to fast an extra day as he started his fast a day after Dubai or not?

If they celebrated Eid in Dubai and this individual’s fasting was 28 days, he had to make up for one day. But if he fasted in Ramadan 29 days, he doesn’t have any days to make up for!

If a person wearing attar/perfume gets some of the taste of the purfume and ofcourse it mixes with the saliva and swallows it, does this nullify the fast?

If somehow it gets into his stomach intentionally, he has broken his fast! But I can’t imagine how would someone swallow perfume?

Is it ok to make just one niyyah for the whole month of Ramadan at the first day of Ramadan or must you have to do niyyah each day before starting the fast. Thus making it 29 or 30 niyyah?

One niyyah in the first day is sufficient for the whole month unless you skip one day due to travel or illness etc. in this case, you need a new niyyah!

If a person doing the daytime of Ramadan did not fast yet he committed fornication, he is obliged to fast two consecutive months. Question is: Fasting two months is hard for me and i dont think i could do it maybe illness and negligence plus the next few months i will be travelling so i can the money straight away now, can i feed (60 people) the poor instead?

The only possibility not to fast these two consecutive months is your disability. If you will be able after some time, a year or two or more, you must fast them then and feeding wouldn’t be accepted. If you have a real illness that doctors forbid you from fasting till you die, you can feed!

is applying vaseline to dry or chapped lips permissible during fasting? And What if someone sleeps with vaseline on lips?

yes it is permissible providing you don’t swallow any of it! It is best to avoid it while fasting.

I have a question concerning the the time when suhoor time ends. Allah says in the quran “and eat and drink until the white thread (light) of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread (darkness of night)” [al-Baqarah 2:187]. Practically we are unable to say when this dawn breaks. is it the time of fajr? does fajr starts with this dawn?

my uncle is diabetic and is on insulin…his doctor has asked him not to fast since his sugar level fluctuates…what should he do?

If the Doctors believe that fasting may be dangerous and life threatening for this person then he should not fast and cover his missed fasts after Ramadan when he recover. I recommend he takes a second opinion from a Muslim doctor,
